Default Fitting a DAB Aerial.

I’ve got myself a DAB aerial so I can hook up my radio. It’s a glass stick on one that I’ve decided to mount on the passengers side of the windscreen along the line of the roof.

I plan to hide the wire behind the A pillar trim, and run it behind the dashboard.

Are there any tips you guys can offer as I embark on this saga? How do I get the various trim off etc? I know I can pop the dash fascia off with a trim tool, will that be enough access to get to where I’m going etc?

Fitted mine to the windscreen, bearing in mind part of the aerial needs to be on metal. Pull the A pillar cover off, it's only clipped on, making sure there's no airbag behind and run the wire down

Follow up question. How do I know if there’s an airbag lurking behind these A pillars or not?

There’s no tag on there saying there’s one, but is that any indication?

It'll have airbag stamped on it, if not, no airbag
